Pitiful excuse of a president

Why do most of Americas conservative Republicans continue to defend a president who has this country in the dumper like never before?

He should have been impeached from office three years ago because of all the incompetent, lame, stupid, empty-headed, inappropriate and unlawful actions he has perpetrated on and to this country since he has been in office.

His latest blunder, of which there have been many, is his head-in-the-sand tour de force ploy of allowing Marine Corps bureaucrats under his watch to refuse an urgent request in 2005 from battlefield commanders for blast-resistant vehicles that were badly needed in Iraq as an internal military study recently uncovered.

As the supreme commander-in-chief, how could he let such blatant non-action materialize under his administrationís guard? He should castigate any and all those bureaucrats, including himself and Cheney, who allowed this to happen.

How many young Americans could have been kept out of harmís way if this request had been fulfilled? The blood of all those who have fallen and been maimed by IEDS in Iraq and Afghanistan is the direct responsibility of an incompetent, pitiful excuse of a president, George Bush by name. I welcome all rebuttals from those who refute my words. A proud liberal Democrat.
